The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and... bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. And we definitely added to his pile of good things.--The 11th Doctor.

My all time favorite quote!

Hi there,

Mines is a quote from my favourite verse:

' I said to the Man who stood at the gate of the year,

'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.'

And he replied, ' Go out into the darkness and put your hand into

The hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer

Than a known way !

I don't see my own death as a tragedy, but rather as the ultimate relief.

I do agree with your second quote, however. Hahaha!
 
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”

Not sure who said that..
 
"In the visible world, the Milky Way is a tiny fragment; within this fragment, the solar system is an infinitesimal speck, and of this speck our planet is a microscopic dot.

-Bertrand Russell from "Dreams and Facts" (1919)

I just got a letter in memory of a young man that died, my aunt said they wanted everyone to do a random act of kindness. She sent me a $20.00 bill!
So my motto is, "Do a random act of kindness everyday to one person." That was in a movie I think.'Pay It Forward."?:)
 
No-one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin,or his background,or his religion.People must learn to hate,and if they can learn to hate,they can be taught to love,for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Having a rough morning?
place your hand over your heart
Feel that? That's called purpose
Your alive for a reason
Don't give up!!

I like to pretend that everything's alright, because when everybody else thinks you're fine, sometimes you forget that you're not.

People will
Hate you,
Rate you,
Shake you,
And
Break you,
But how strong
you stand is what
makes you.
 
I'm not ignoring you,
I'm just not listening
because I need to use
the bathroom :ylol2:

Dearest Fatigue,
If you plan on
hanging around
all day, at least
bring me some
damn cookies
and a cup of tea :lol2:

I am not lazy, sometimes I am cranky,
some days I can barely get out of bed,
it's because I am in pain everyday of my life,
yet I continue to smile even through the tears,
so please don't tell me to "just snap put of it"
and please don't judge me when you have no
idea what I am going through. :smile:

I think it has become obvious that medicine companies have no idea what fruit tastes like. :ylol2:

Tired- doesn't describe it,
I'm one step away from
becoming a zombie :lol2:

Just been for my morning run,
ran all the way from my bed
to the toilet!! :rof:

How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom your on. :lol:

Starting tomorrow whatever life throw at me, I'm ducking so it hits someone else!! :)
